Mark,
Garmin (I think you have a Garmin) sells data cables with bare wire ends that you can custom wire to the radio connector. Should be relatively easy to find locally. Not sure about the radio side, but HRO *should* have something for that. I have done this for my old Garmin GPS III. Not sure if the connector is the same (round connector with 4 pins), but I bought the cable at Fry's. Now that I think about it, they probably have the data cable terminated in a standard DB-9 serial port connector. That may be an easier connection to the radio. There also should be a turn-key cable available from Yaesu, no?
Yeah, it's a Garmin 478. I've got The GPS wired into the truck with the cable you mention, but I need to build the radio side and wire them together.
No, Yaesu makes the cables to download updates and add their external GPS, but no generic 'solder this wire to GPS NMEA data output' cable... unless someone else can point me to one.
I did find the RT Systems Inc USB programing cable and software. I'm really thinking about forking out the ~$50 to get it after sitting for about 2hrs in the truck with the Nifty manual trying to figure everything out today.
